Creator's Key Takeaways

I love Switzerland and have visited more times than I can remember.

This last trip involved a challenge to explore the Swiss Travel Pass: the Great Swiss Train Chase.

The fact that the pass covered not only the trains but these gorgeous lakes that seem to stretch on aching with beauty.

This is simply one of the most beautiful and most luxurious trains in the world.
